How is it that we don't have a soup thread?

There was a bunch of chopping, but then you just threw it all in the pot, so it was a pretty easy recipe.

Here's my loose recollection:
Peel and thinly slice 5 cups of sweet potatoes (I had really small ones, so I can't tell you how many normal ones that would be)
chop 2 cups of apple
i chopped one big mama onion. I can't remember how many cups it was supposed to be.
chop 2 cloves of garlic
chop some celery - that was the only thing I forgot to get, so I only had one stalk. I think it was supposed to be 1 cup
chop 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

put 2 tablespoons of oil in a soup pot and saute onion and garlic at the bottom for a few minutes.

Add everything listed above, plus 1 cup water, 4 cups vegetable broth, cinammon, salt, pepper.

Cover and bring to a boil.
After it boils, bring it down to a simmer and cook for twenty minutes or until the sweet potatoes and apples are soft (20 minutes for me)
Add 1 cup of unsweetened apple juice.
If you want, add more peppers in adobo sauce (I didn't, but I put in a dash of dried chipotle)
Blend (it said put it in a blender but I used the immersion blender).

Easy and delicious.
